Tom is off rehearsing.
Henry is in school.
Morrigan is at her friend’s house.
Faced with the rare occurrence of being alone in her own home for any length of time, the mother human dutifully begins doing the chores that are otherwise made difficult in the presence of her young.
Fuck that. I’m just going to sit here for the next ten minutes and listen to the quiet.

I really like getting stuff done when Josh is elsewhere. His biggest helps to me are running errands.

If I had the house to myself more often I would be the most organized human on earth. I gotta tell you, though: those ten minutes were gold. Like Ponyboy.

LOL, boy do I get that. In the time it takes for Josh to run and get cigarettes, I can clean 2 half baths and empty the 3 small trash cans in the basement.
Is there a legit reason you could send them all out somewhere on a more regular basis? The two nights a week Josh is in school right now are awesome.

Ah-hahaha! In my house, I’m like Flash Gordon while Tom is like… hrm. Tom is like a slow moving land mass.
The problem isn’t so much getting them out of the house as it is getting them all out together, especially during he school year. I’m sure there is a solution; I just haven’t figured it out yet.

Excellent decision!!
Though, I had the house to myself for nearly 24 hours at the end of last week. I got so much done!! Laundry and cleaning and some garage projects and some dinner prep and on and on. It was glorious too.

I had to sit here and just let that soak in for a minute.
Matticus, if I had the house to myself for two whole weeks I would rule the damn world. I expect no less from you, Mister.

No worries there. Plans are already in motion. From Jester to Emperor in 2 weeks or less. You’ve been warned.
Unless, of course, I get distracted… I’m planning on setting up my turntables and recording a couple new sets of music. My last sets probably, as I will then put it all away again and sell and or donate the bulk of my record collection before the Queen and Little Prince return.

Wait. Why?

Not enough room in our little condo anymore. The Little Prince needs the space… and, its not like I’m using them anymore anyway. I haven’t played with my turntables in more than a couple years. I won’t be getting rid of them, and there are some records I will definitely be keeping. But, it’s time to let go of the rest.
